Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu had dinner at the Huo Family’s house. Soon after dinner, Mr. Huo invited a group of management talents.

Currently, in Hong Kong, the talent sector is quite saturated. On one hand, some talents prefer to develop in major cities in Mainland China.

On the other hand, those unwilling to go to Mainland China choose to remain in Hong Kong.

However, it’s natural for people to seek better opportunities, as water flows to lower grounds.

Now, Mr. Huo contacted them to look for management talents, so they came over.

Unexpectedly, it wasn’t Mr. Huo who was looking, but a young man from Mainland China. They thought this young man was a rich second generation.

These Hong Kong people either speak Cantonese or English.

Ye Qiu is very fluent in both languages.

Additionally, Ye Qiu knows a lot.

Soon, these management professionals stopped underestimating Ye Qiu, and as they conversed, they became increasingly amazed.

"Mr. Ye, are you really planning to establish an investment company in Hong Kong?" asked Mr. Liu, who wore a suit and was in his thirties, a graduate of Hong Kong University.

"Otherwise, what do you think I’m hiring you for? I have many things to do now, and the affairs in Hong Kong will surely be managed by people here."

Ye Qiu’s intention was to not meddle in the matters here and not send anyone from Mainland China. His goal was simply to earn profits; he wasn’t interested in anything else.

In Hong Kong, the biggest fear is that those Mainland bosses don’t understand anything and would send people over from the Mainland to meddle. This is why management professionals in Hong Kong dislike Mainland management.

Through conversations with these men and women, Ye Qiu could tell they were genuinely skilled. At least, entrusting them with responsibilities should not be a problem.

"How much is the initial investment, Mr. Ye?"

"About three billion HKD!"

Three billion?

If starting from a small company, the funds aren’t minimal.

However, these people are more inclined towards a partnership system, where Ye Qiu provides the capital, and they provide technology and management, but they need to receive some shares and dividends.

Currently, the partnership system is quite popular worldwide, as it offers employees a greater sense of belonging and motivation.

"I agree with the partnership system you mentioned. I’ll give your team ten percent of the shares and dividends, and how you divide the dividends is up to you."

Ten percent?

That’s certainly substantial.

Ye Qiu talked with them for over three hours, almost until eleven-thirty at night, before finishing the conversation.

After those people left, Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu also planned to return to the five-star hotel to stay.

Although there are guest rooms at the Huo Family’s villa, Ye Qiu still preferred to stay at the hotel.

After the Huo Family’s dedicated driver sent the two away.

Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu returned to that five-star hotel.

Early the next morning, Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu got up, washed, and dressed. After having breakfast in the hotel restaurant, they planned to personally go to the lottery center to claim the prize.

The two boarded a taxi heading to the lottery center.

The taxi driver asked, "Sir, are you going to claim your prize? How much did you win?"

"Not much,"

Ye Qiu replied.

Not much?

From the taxi driver’s perspective, the young man going to the lottery center to claim the prize must have won at least several million.

Several million is indeed not much.

But he heard that someone had incredibly good luck and emptied the prize pool during this period, and it was purchased at Sha Tin Racecourse.

He couldn’t help but think some people are truly lucky, seemingly destined to become wealthy.

Hong Kong people love money, and that’s quite normal. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

So, when it comes to the lottery and money matters, the taxi driver was quite excited.

For him, his biggest wish in life is to buy a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment in Hong Kong, around fifty square meters, and be content.

After all, such an apartment would cost around six to seven million.

If it’s not feasible here, he might only be able to buy one in the neighboring city, Peng Cheng, but he heard the property prices there are climbing up too.

However, compared to Hong Kong, it’s not sky-high yet for now.

Arriving at the parking lot downstairs at the lottery center building, Ye Qiu paid the fare and got off the taxi with Liu Lingxiu.

At the first-floor center counter, Ye Qiu offered his ID and passport. The front desk lady confirmed Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu’s identity as prize winners and hurriedly took them up the elevator.

Of course, reporters from the TV stations and employees at the lottery center were waiting for Ye Qiu to arrive.

"I don’t want to be in the limelight," Ye Qiu said.

This was something he mentioned last night.

So, now the staff prepared cartoon masks for Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu to wear, only exposing their eyes, making it hard to recognize them.

When Ye Qiu went to claim the prize, the total winning amounted to over four billion HKD. After personal taxation, there were over three billion left.

Ye Qiu also knew that it’s customary to donate a portion voluntarily.

"I’m willing to donate ten million HKD to those in need in Hong Kong."

While those journalists kept interviewing him, Ye Qiu casually answered several questions.

Ultimately, this huge sum was deposited in the Hong Kong HSBC bank, which Ye Qiu found convenient for managing the funds.

He intended for most of the money to be invested, and a few billion to be used to buy a house for Liu Lingxiu.

After almost half an hour, once the transaction was completed, the staff were incredibly envious, especially the lady host who wished she could cozy up to Ye Qiu, hoping he’d fancy her.

However, Ye Qiu’s gaze remained solely on Liu Lingxiu.

After claiming the huge sum, Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu left the lottery center, heading back to the five-star hotel. Ye Qiu planned to contact the management talents he selected last night to hand over the funds and propose his requirements. Soon, he would leave Hong Kong.

Back at the five-star hotel, they were already there, four men and three women, responsible for import-export trade and investment group matters respectively.

"After you open two company bank account numbers for the companies, I’ll transfer the funds into them one by one. As for company setup and recruitment, all of that will be your responsibility. I hope to see results in six months."

"Rest assured, Mr. Ye. We’ll strive to grow them big and get them listed."

Making a company big enough to go public is their biggest aspiration, but for Ye Qiu, whether the company gets listed doesn’t really matter.
